Different learning curves for Axillary <b>Brachial Plexus</b> Block <b>...</b>

Little is known about learning the skills needed to perform ultrasonic or nerve stimulator-guided peripheral nerve block. The aim of this study was to compare learning curves of people trained in ultrasound guidance versus residents are trained in nerve stimulation for Brachial plexus block axillary. Ten people with no previous experience with ultrasonic received ultrasonic training and another ten people with no previous experience with nerve stimulation was nervous stimulation education. Beginner learning curves were generated by retrospective data analysis of our electronic anesthesia database. Individual achievement awards was the pool and institutional learning curve was calculated by taking a bootstrapping technology in combination with a procedure to Monte Carlo simulation. The skills required to carry out successful ultrasound-guided Brachial plexus block axillary can more quickly learn and lead to a higher final success compared to nerve stimulator-guided Brachial plexus block axillary.
